FWIW, earlier this morning I was comparing my T13 to the HD2010 with some white walling. My T13 has a hotspot 2/3 to 1/2 the size of my HD2010 and it's brighter, too! Still haven't had time to do full draw rests or lux and IS testing but will later this week.

If your car is running right you’ll be max 14.4 volts. At full charge a 4S lipo pack will be at 16.8 volts. You’ll definitely be shortening light bulb life considerably if you run it at those kinds of voltages. 3S works perfectly for all 12v nominal uses. It peaks at 12.6v.

Is the Trustfire X8 comparable to the Fandyfire STL V6? I know there is a comparison out there with beamshots but over all is it really worth the purchase? I already have the X8. Would I need to go one step higher with the Trusfire X6 or perhaps the Crelant 7G6 or V9 to see a big difference?

But like I said for under $50 if there is a better XM-L thrower for the money than the FandyFire STL-V6, I sure don’t know of it. But $ for $ the Small Sun ZY-T13 is probably the better deal for $24. But I still would rather have the FandyFire.
